One of the Top 10 most stressful events in any person’s life is buying a new home and then having to move into it.
Packing up many years of precious goods and safely transporting those to your new Cape Town home can be a huge source of concern – especially if you ask the ‘Uncle’ next door if you can use his bakkie to transport your household goods around Cape Town.
Just driving the streets in an open bakkie is fraught with concern from goods being exposed to the elements to petty opportunistic thieves doing some unauthorised ‘shopping’ to major concerns about insurance and breakages.
Face it – replacing Grandma’s Feather Bed could be more expensive than paying a professional Removal Company in Cape Town to do the move for you.
16 More Reasons to Employ a Moving Professional:
- Time – Your time is expensive, rather use that on other income producing activities than packing. The average time it takes a professional to pack a three bedroomed home is around 10 hours.
- Expert Packers – Moving company staff develop an ‘eye’ and a system for packing that is logical and practical. AND, your household items will be easy to find later.
- Reliability – Professional Moving Companies in South Africa have access to more staff and vehicles than you or your Uncle next door. If your Uncle’s bakkie breaks down you will have more expense on your hands.
- Lowered Stress Levels – Rather opt to manage a removal company in Cape Town doing your move than to actually do it yourself: Far less stress.
- Top up your Medical Aid/Insurance – Should you do the move yourself you run the risk of injury and pain carrying, bending, walking, lifting and placing all your household goods in your new home.
- Insurance – Does your personal insurance extend to your goods in transit? Does it cover your Uncle’s bakkie? What if you have an accident carrying goods?
- Packing Materials – Doing your own move means you will need to beg, borrow, steal or purchase boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape and more. This means more time wasted and higher costs for yourself.
- Delicate Items – Professional Moving Companies have select staff able to wrap and pack your most delicate items from crystal sculptures to crystal chandeliers to valuable artwork and more. One slip with any of those items and you will lose more money than what your move costs.
- Young Children – Of course your precious children could get in the way of your packing or get injured in their enthusiasm to assist. Your children are worth more than the ‘savings’ you may make using Uncle’s Bakkie.
- Storage – Moving from your existing home before the date you can move into your new home would demand storage space. Valuable space that most moving companies in South Africa do have on offer.
- Larger home – If your home is larger than 2 bedrooms then a professional moving company is best.
- Access – If your old or new home has difficult access via stairways, narrow passages, restricted outside parking then give the headache to a moving company in Cape Town rather.
- Heavy Furniture – Unless your Uncle with a Bakkie is Arnold or an Uncle who spends way too much time in the Gym then rather use a Cape Town Removals Company to do your move for you.
- Time – This is a no-brainer, if you have limited time then rather use a moving company.
- City to City – There is no way that you will be able to accomplish a house move from Johannesburg to Cape Town or even Durban to Pietermaritzburg just with Uncle’s Bakkie so finding a moving company to do the work for you then is a must.
- Quotes – Do get quotes from removal companies that are recommended by friends and acquaintances. Most reputable moving companies are very happy to give an initial online quote.
